MAC Tropical Taboo Collection (2013)

[kimibos]

Smaller than the 131

ohh ok, still very small.

 

[ChosenOne]

Forgive me, but is the 159 LE?

Heard through the grapevine that it's going to be perm...but don't hold me to that!

 

[lilinah]

Hehe, thanks. I was gonna say I'll keep my eyes open... and TADAAA:


I LOVE the pic of the model.

And she's lit from different directions with different colored lights, rose from her right, green left, and blue in front and lower, to augment the colorfulness.

I was reading a professional beauty blog today in which NARS director of global artistry recommended using eye liner pencils to line lips to deepen and enrich colors of lipsticks and glosses...

Been there. Done that. Last year, the year before, hey, even in the 90s when i was hanging out in Goth clubs. And i'm just a crazy old lady.

But I was so excited for the Tropica blue-and-lavender lip liner!!! It was like a punch in the gut to find it was "just" an eye shadow... well, OK, i exaggerate, but, still... and, hey, i wuz gonna get at least TWO of them.

Oh, well, i recently got Periwinkle eyeliner from stila, but i'm not happy with it on my dark hazel eyes, so maybe it's going to end up on my LIPS! Just like MAC's Heirloom Eye Kohl, Handforged Powerpoint Eye Pencil, and Hi-Def Cyan Chromagraphic Pencil... (yeah, probably not lip-safe, but i don't do it often)

BTW... don't google image search Fever Isle. lol
Uh oh. Is this another Razzledazzler?

As long as it isn't a Vajazzler...

Sure they're different... FMP is a cremesheen and MM is a mineralize

I think if we're going to see a more blue purple, it'd come in the winter or maybe fall. Maybe a blue purple will be this year's Firm Form!!!

I wish! I actually backed up Firm Form !

But to be practical and realistic, i think some of the problem of getting true blue-violet lip products is getting blues that are lip-safe, since most blue pigments aren't.

Quote: Japanese Spring is very nice. There are similar colors in the perm line, but JS has this really nice, sophisticated grey undertone that is very flattering and great for neutralizing pigmented lips. I love mine.

Oooo, i like lavenders with a grey undertone. Is Japanese Spring actually lavender-ish? The MAC description says it's "Pale mid-tone pink".

Oh my gosh the promo picture is amazing. Soooo freakin' pretty! However I have managed to cut my list a bit after photos:

Midnight Mambo
Narcissus (maybe two?)
Dare to Bare
Caribbean

If Caribbean and DtB look anything remotely like MES I already have they're getting punted. I've been good about keeping my MAC purchases in line this year and I need to keep it that way!

 

[lilinah]

Seeing the photos Naynadine sleuthed up for us has lengthened my list of products to test.

The only thing i am getting fer sher, fer sher is the 159 Brush.

My TO-TEST list is:

Mineralize Lipsticks
-- Midnight Mambo — Intense violet (LE) (looks kinda like Heroine, Violetta, etc., so may skip)
-- Luxe Naturale — Light beige cream (it has been on my wish list for a while, but it's perm so i may skip)

Cremesheen Glass
-- Narcissus — Mid-tone dirty eggplant
-- Japanese Spring — Pale mid-tone pink
I had skipped these in the Daphne Guinness collection because i got both Blu$h Ombré$, and i may skip at least one again.

Mineralize Skinfinish Duos
-- Adored — Coral with light beige pearlized pigments
-- Lust — Pale pink with cranberry pearlized pigments
Probably not getting either one, but they're worth testing.

Totally skipping the blushes and the other MSFs - too dark for me.

Mineralize Eyeshadow
-- Tropica — Silver-blue with purple pearlize pigments
-- Time to Tango — Lavender with silver pearlized pigments
-- Dare to Bare — Light cream with gold pearlized pigments
-- Caribbean — Rose with pink and red pearlized pigments
Most or all of these may be too similar to eye shadows i already have. I'm just testing...

ALREADY HAVE
Heroine Lip Pencil
Hip ‘n’ Happy Lip Pencil
Orpheus Kohl Power Eye Pencil
187 Brush - Duo fibre face brush (OK, i really have the 188, but it's close enough)
287 Brush - Duo fibre eyeshadow brush

I'll probably end up with fewer than 6 items. The only drawback is that i will be out of town camping over the 4th of July weekend.

Is that really why? I always thought red dyes were bad? But maybe that's just in foods lol I don't think Lipstick is exactly "safe" since it has low amounts of lead and what not. I would still rock a hazardous blue purple LOL jk

Well damn, that's the day before I get paid. Might have to wait and make the trek to Macys on the 4th.

 

[matchachoco]

Well, everything is GORGEOUS, as I feared. But the MSFs look a little dark for me. That's probably good, as I have way too many MSFs anyway. Those eyeshadows would be worth it just to stare at...

The Simmer Blush looks really cool. LOVE the color combination, and can't wait for swatches! I have a mineralize blush (Two Virtues) that I almost never use, though...

 

[MACina]

Oh,yes, that would be awesome!!!!

Heard through the grapevine that it's going to be perm...but don't hold me to that!

 

[MACina]

....really???


I loveeee this MB

Generally speaking, red dyes can cause irritation on the eyes, and blue may cause a reaction on the lips. This is why so many red/bright pink pigments are not recommended for use on the eyes, and why many blue/purple pigments are not recommended for use on the lips. That being said, many people use pigments in the "not recommended" ways anyway. It's really just a matter of what you're comfortable with. If you've never had a reaction to red dyes and want to try Magenta Madness on your eyes, go for it. But I would suggest doing it when you don't have to be anyplace for an extended period of time that day, so that if you DO have a reaction, you can remove the product immediately. MAC really doesn't educate their customers or their artists in pigment safety, so you kind of have to take the initiative yourself. All "not recommended for eye/lip use" really means is that the product hasn't necessarily been tested for use in the way that is not recommended, so if you do have a reaction to it, MAC takes no responsibility for it. Personally, I don't use any product in a way that is not recommended...but sometimes it is tempting, lol.

Probably went off on a bit of a tangent there responding to your red dyes comment, but HTH!
